    headliners are Kings of Leon (awesomeness) Jay-Z (shit rapper) and The Verve (in it for the money has-beens)

    er.....no.

    Jay-Z is a fantastic rapper and the Verve are one of the best bands ever. I don't think they need the money either, frankly. Kings of Leon are completely overrated.

    Jay Z is a bad choice......of hip hop at least......


    The Roots would have been much more preferable if you have to have Hip Hop headlining Glasto (still seems an odd combo).....

    Those are some weak headliners. I'm glad we got Bonnaroo!

    Jay Z is worth the 125 bucks alone...Let alone King of Leon headlining as well? Wow. Jay Z is the greatest rapper thats ever lived, gotta give him some respect. Take a look at his hits and maybe youll realize what this guy has done for the hip hop community. Its a fact that he is an icon, whether or not you like him is your opinion, gotta give him respect though.

    I agree the lineup is below par at best, apart from KOL and Neil Diamond
    I don't think i'll go this year, probably go to reading as Rage is meant to be playing

    I like KOL as much as a lot of you do but they are not a headliner. Neither is the Verve.

    Jay Z whether you like them or not would headline any festival or concert he played.

    And someone said the Roots should headline instead of JayZ if they were doing hip hop.

    I went to Rock the Bells and Coachella in 2007 and the Roots were a mid day band at both shows. Definitely not headliner material.

    People have to realize that headliners are supposed to move tickets not satisfy the internet music community.

    thats your opinion.. its a wrong one but its still yours :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Reading looks okay! I wanted to go back in '95. ...ahhh '95 when a mars bar only cost 10p and music MEANT something. ;)

    The toilets are always awful at British festivals, and after attending day 2 of Festimad last year, in Spain, the toilets were impeccable, I'm starting to realise it's us, we're animals.
    BTW, Mars bars were not 10p in 1995, no way, not having that, more like 20 or 25p.

    Glasonbury, as Robert Plant put it last year, has become "the hit parade in a field".
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    lol i was 10 in 1994 and remember mars being about 25p then. Milky Way's were 10p.

    Those were the days :D



    Jay z - bad choice.

    Maybe the Roots will back Jay-Z? Sometimes they do for his bigger shows.

    True - its usually full of corporate middle class types pretending to be hippies for the weekend.....I'm kinda glad they're not playing cos its about 20 miles down the road from me and I'd be pretty pissed off if I couldn't get tickets to that gig (backward thinking I know :o )
    Yeh and I'm always really pleased when I see the silly fuckers wallowing in mud.

    Oh yes please, but somehow I think getting a ticket will be impossible and the eBay bastards will be in full swing.

    sadly now you tend to see countless 'hoorays' with that 'oh look at me being so silly in my pink wellys, what would the stock exchange say if they saw me being soooooo wild' .......

    For that reason alone and its corporateness I now longer bother, 7 good years was worth it, sadly when you start getting rappers and Emily eavis involved its time to move on......

    REM at the royal albert anyone??

    I realise you were probably just going for brevity there, but the problem with the Glastonbury Festival these days is that it's full of the sort of people who call it 'Glasto'.
    If I knew where it was, I would take you there...

    went there in 94 and 95, all the way from southern France! (well, people didn't travel for gigs so easily then..otherwise I'd have seen PJ 14 years earlier!..actually, heard they were meant to play it in 94, but didn't..bastards!)
    I've been wanting to go back since, though I fear it has lost it's charm.
    meant to go last year, then the tour happened, meant to go this year, but Bonnaroo, and a shit line-up, rules it out.

    T in the Park is supposed to be great..thoguh tickets are on sale Saturday and since we still don't know what PJ is doing in July :mad: can't book it (and unlike Roo, UK festivals sell out in hours, so no wait and see possible)

    heard several times about Rage at Reading.. don't think I'll be able to afford the whole festival after/before the US trip but might go for the day..

    REM at RAH: apart from the pain it'll be to get tickets, unless the floor is standing I'm not setting foot in there again... I CANNOT seat at a gig..and the people behind are not too happy about that :D
